The chairs provided in the hotel conference room have surprisingly high backs, Shen Yuhan the three of them squatted at the back, the people in front of them couldn’t find them at all.
Shan Qihuan turned his head and turned back again, he was facing Shen Yuhan, what did he have to worry about.
His mind was spinning quickly, and he improvised: “I didn’t do anything, Liu Tan’s shirt button fell off, I’m helping him look for it.”
After hearing what he said, Shen Yuhan immediately wanted to lie down on the carpet and help them look for it: “My eyesight is not bad, how about I also help Brother Liu Tan look for it?”
Shan Qihuan immediately held Shen Yuhan’s arm with his hand: “No, it’s just a button, if it’s lost, it’s lost.” As he said that, he took advantage of Shen Yuhan’s inattention, and forcefully tugged on Liu Tan’s cuffs, tore off the buttons on his shirt cuffs, and threw them at his feet, “Found it.”
Liu Tan almost couldn’t contain his anger, right now, he wanted to grab Shan Qihuan and give him a beating, that despicable scoundrel Shan! His eighteen-thousand-yuan shirt! It’s one thing to make excuses in front of his wife, but to also ruin his clothes!
Shen Yuhan saw Shan Qihuan pick up a light blue button on the ground with his own eyes, it turned out to be real, so he suggested in a low voice: “The threads are all broken, Brother Liu Tan has to go home and sew it up, buy better quality clothes next time.”
Liu Tan barely managed to pull out a smile, snatched the button from Shan Qihuan’s hand, gritted his teeth1咬牙切齒 (yǎo yá qiè chǐ): gnashing one’s teeth (idiom); displaying extreme anger; fuming with rage between gritted teeth; gnashing one’s teeth in anger. and said: “Yes, next time I have to ask the boss clearly how he dares to sell me such shoddy quality clothes!” After saying that, he sat on the chair in the front row, resolutely refused to sit together with Shan Qihuan.
When Shan Qihuan saw him leaving, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, finally gotten away with it.
He pulled Shen Yuhan up, and sat on the chair openly this time.
As soon as he sat down, Shan Qihuan met Shen Yuhan’s curious gaze: “What are you staring at me for, quickly listen to whether the host read your name.”
Shen Yuhan was full of doubts, but his husband was obviously trying to change the subject, so he put his doubts away first.
At this time, the Chinese painting award ceremony was about to award the second prize, Jiang Tong still won the second prize, everyone else was happy, but there was no joy on his face, as if everyone owed him hundreds of millions.
Shen Yuhan wasn’t worried about whether he could win the prize, he had already won the first place in calligraphy, and whoever takes the next Chinese painting is the same, but someone is more nervous than him, and his hand was quietly held by Shan Qihuan.
Shan Qihuan held Shen Yuhan’s hand tightly: “You must be very nervous.”
Shen Yuhan followed his own conscience: “I’m not nervous.”
Shan Qihuan rubbed his shoes on the carpet: “You are nervous.”
Shen Yuhan had no choice but to say against his will: “Okay, I’m nervous.” Feeling that he spoke too calmly and seemed to have no strength, he shook his husband’s hand back and said, “Honey, I’m so nervous, what should I do if I don’t get first place?”
Shan Qihuan immediately comforted him: “Don’t be afraid, it doesn’t matter whether you take first place or not, I’m here.”
Shen Yuhan found that his husband is even more nervous than he is today: “Then I’m not nervous anymore.”
Shan Qihuan said with a wooden face: “You should be nervous.”
There is no need for Shen Yuhan to express his nervousness or not anymore, the host finished creating the suspense and directly read out the name of the winner!
“First place, Shen Yuhan!”
After experiencing the nervousness just now, Shen Yuhan was not nervous at all now, he turned around and met his husband’s joyful eyes.
“Honey, I’ll go and receive the award.”
“Go ahead.”
Shen Yuhan was still sitting in the middle row when he won the first prize in calligraphy just now, but now he suddenly stood up from the back row, many people followed the host’s gaze and looked at him, and by the way, they saw the well-dressed2衣冠楚楚 (yī guān chǔ chǔ): immaculately dressed; well-groomed; dapper; be decently dressed; From the Classic of Poetry, poem 150 (《詩經·曹風·蜉蝣》): 蜉蝣之羽,衣裳楚楚。 心之憂矣,於我歸處。, The wings of the ephemera, Are robes, bright and splendid. My heart is grieved; Would they but come and abide with me! man sitting next to him, who looked very familiar.
At this moment, Shan Qihuan no longer needed to hide to prevent his wife from seeing him, Shen Yuhan had already noticed that he was coming, so he just acted openly, he was already frightened enough just now. He was even happier that Shen Yuhan won the first prize than if he had won it himself, and there was a hint of joy in his eyebrows.
In the past, Shen Yuhan may not be worth mentioning3不值一提 (bù zhí yī tí): not worth mentioning; not worthwhile to talk about; unworthy of being mentioned; unworthy of mentioning; describes things that are minor or unimportant. in front of others, but now Shen Yuhan is extremely outstanding, Shan Qihuan is very proud of him, this is a competition held by their Jiangcheng Writers Association, and the judges are all pretty good, he can write down the names of several judges later, forward their Weibo posts, and praise their unique vision.
Shan Qihuan took out his mobile phone to take photos of Shen Yuhan receiving the award on the stage as a souvenir, this was the first time Shen Yuhan won an award after marrying him, and he even won two awards at once, joyful and worthy of congratulation4可喜可賀 (kě xǐ kě hè): joyful and worthy of congratulation; gratifying; Congratulations!!
However, after winning the prize, Shen Yuhan didn’t immediately return to Shan Qihuan.
The president of the association announced on the spot that Shen Yuhan could directly join the Jiangcheng Calligraphy and Painting Association, his talent is obvious to all5有目共睹 (yǒu mù gòng dǔ): anyone with eyes can see it (idiom); obvious to all; sth speaks for itself; is there for all to see; be perfectly obvious; be as clear as day., and has been recognized by many judges, joining the association is the icing on the cake6錦上添花 (jǐn shàng tiān huā): lit. to add flowers to the brocade (idiom); to decorate sth already perfect; gilding the lily; to make perfection still more perfect; add flowers to embroidery―embellish what is already beautiful; add brilliance to one’s present splendour. for him.
Old Master Liu, who invited Shen Yuhan to come over couldn’t stop laughing, everyone knew that he was the one who brought this person, several old men who said every day that his son did not inherit his calligraphy and painting skills are now looking at him with envy, don’t know where he found Shen Yuhan, afraid he’s not his secretly hidden disciple, but he really amaze the world with a single brilliant feat7一鳴驚人 (yī míng jīng rén): to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat (idiom); to become famous overnight; to set the world on fire; a bolt from the blue..
After the award ceremony, Shen Yuhan cooperated with the association staff and left his phone number, they said they would contact him later to fill in the membership information, and go through the basic process.
After Shen Yuhan received the award, he first filled in the information, and then was dragged by Old Master Liu to listen to some words of praise for him, then Wen You, Lian Qi and others came to congratulate him, also asked him how he came up with the painting, it was really cute and interesting, at first glance, it was like an ancient life scene, very down-to-earth, however, Shen Yuhan didn’t look too down-to-earth, he look more like an elegant little prince.
There were too many people, and Shen Yuhan was almost pushed to the edge of the table and about to fall, fortunately, a strong arm caught him.
The man swore his sovereignty in a protective manner in front of everyone: “Shen Yuhan, are you okay?”
Only then was Shen Yuhan able to free himself from the crowd’s enthusiasm, everyone wanted to be friends with him, he was quite happy, when he raised his head and looked up at Shan Qihuan, the smile was still on his face, and happiness was written in his bright eyes.
“Okay, shall we go home?”
Wen You saw a strange man suddenly hugging Shen Yuhan, his heart skipped a beat and instantly felt cold, this person is Shen Yuhan’s brother, right?
He hurriedly asked Shen Yuhan: “Yuhan, let’s go out for milk tea next time.”
Shen Yuhan smiled, he didn’t agree directly, how could he agree to another man’s invitation in front of his husband.
His lack of response gave Shan Qihuan reassurance, he glanced at Wen You and said: “You look familiar.”
Shen Yuhan then reminded him: “The person who accidentally bumped into me last time, his name is Wen You.”
“Oh.” Shan Qihuan didn’t like the way Wen You looked at Shen Yuhan, “Then let’s go first.”
Shen Yuhan also felt that it was time for him to leave, it was the first time he had been alone outside with unfamiliar people for so long, he also took his calligraphy and Chinese paintings with him, because this was a small, private competition, and the prizes weren’t provided by the Association, there was no problem for the participants to take their own paintings with them.
After Shen Yuhan said goodbye to a few friends he had just met, he left with Shan Qihuan, Shan Qihuan wanted to hold his hand, but unfortunately, Shen Yuhan had too many things, and both of his hands don’t have space, so he couldn’t hold his hand.
After they left with Liu’s father and son, Wen You asked the elder who invited him to come along: “Grandpa, you seem to know that person just now.”
Grandpa said: “It can be said I know him, he is from the Shan family.”
Wen You asked: “Is Shen Yuhan his cousin?” He actually didn’t like the way the man spoke to Shen Yuhan just now, it was too tough, Shen Yuhan should be treated more gently.
Grandpa said: “I’m not sure, the Shan family is too chaotic, there are many younger generations, I’m old, I can’t tell who is who, I only remember the people of his father’s generation, this young man is quite outstanding in the Shan family, he is young and promising, I’ve met him a few times at banquets, I don’t know anything else, you can ask your brother and the others, the Jiang family and the Shan family know each other.”
Wen You nodded, he only feel that Shen Yuhan had a close relationship with Mr. Shan just now, it was probably not what he imagined, Shen Yuhan is so cute, and also beautiful.
–
Shen Yuhan got into Shan Qihuan’s car with a bunch of trophies, he thought he would not be able to see his husband until night, but he didn’t expect to come out of the hotel at around three o’clock in the afternoon.
“Honey, fasten the seatbelt.”
Shan Qihuan had just put his hand on his seat belt, as soon as he realized that Shen Yuhan wasn’t telling him to fasten it, but to let himself fasten it for him, he let go of his own seatbelt.
“I really owe you.” Shan Qihuan bent down to fasten it for him, and touched him on the lips in passing, without any warning.
Shen Yuhan was caught off guard by his kiss, remembering the last time they mentioned the top scorer in the car, he couldn’t help but cry out: “Lord Husband, you’re kissing me outside again.”
“Not kissing.” Shan Qihuan refused to admit it, and found that Shen Yuhan called him something different, “Lord Husband? That’s how you’ll call me from now on.”
Shen Yuhan hooked his hand on the seat belt, shook his head and said with a smile: “No.”
Of course, Shan Qihuan would not force him, but he remembered that before leaving, the young man named Wen made an appointment with Shen Yuhan to have milk tea together next time.
“When are you going out to drink milk tea with people?” He is also a young and handsome young man, he had to admit that he hadn’t seen this kind of carefree8無憂無慮 (wú yōu wú lǜ): carefree and without worries (idiom); light-hearted; careless; insouciant; worriless; There is no sorrow and concern. young man in the company often.
“I didn’t ask anyone out.” Shen Yuhan explained clearly to him, “It was someone else who asked me out, and I went only after my husband agreed.”
Shan Qihuan was coaxed by Shen Yuhan and was stunned for a while, Shen Yuhan handed over the decision-making power to Shan Qihuan, if he agreed to let him go out, he could no longer be jealous, if he didn’t agree, he couldn’t stop Shen Yuhan from making friends either, after all, they were all young people, however, he still had to find out the background of his new friend first, what if Shen Yuhan was cheated by someone else again? He is so stupid. However, he could only keep these thoughts in his mind for the time being.
“All right, I won’t agree to let you go out today, you have to go to watch the movie with me.” Shan Qihuan’s reason was quite justified.
“Watching a movie?” Shen Yuhan knew that central channel six9中央頻道六 (zhōng yāng pín dào liù): Most likely the China Movie Channel, an agency of the Chinese Government’s State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television. In mainland China, the agency provides programming to the China Central Television channel CCTV-6, which is dedicated to movies. often show movies, he also asked Siri what is cinema, he knew that a cinema was a place dedicated to watching movies, but he didn’t understand the difference between watching movies in a cinema and watching movies at home, his husband was so considerate, before he even started exploring this new location, he took the initiative to propose to watch a movie.
“Um, are you tired, if so let’s go home first, we can go to the cinema tomorrow.”
“Don’t go home yet, I want to watch a movie.” He hasn’t been to the cinema yet, even though his legs were sore from standing in the morning, he is still energetic, and his bright and clear eyes are full of anticipation for watching the movie.
Shan Qihuan only felt that Shen Yuhan was looking forward to going on a date with him and watch a movie, it was not in vain that he spent most of the morning reading movie reviews, word-of-mouth, ratings, and synopses to choose movie, it is said that romantic movies can enhance the relationship between lovers, so he finally chose a romance movie with a rating of only 6.5.
It was Shen Yuhan’s first time to enter a cinema, and everything he found was novel.
Although it was afternoon, there were still a lot of people at the movie, most of them couples, or three or five young people sitting together, each holding a bucket of popcorn and a drink in their hands.
Shan Qihuan took Shen Yuhan to get a paper movie ticket first, watching him keep scanning for other people’s popcorn: “Want to eat?”
Shen Yuhan nodded: “Um, it looks delicious.” He looked up at his husband expectantly.
“Then let’s buy a bucket too.” Shan Qihuan found that he couldn’t refuse any look from Shen Yuhan.
After the two of them finished queuing, they bought a set meal, a large bucket of popcorn, and two cups of hot drinks, Shen Yuhan actually wanted milk tea, but Shan Qihuan told him that the milk tea in the cinema was not delicious, so he didn’t buy it, after ordering two cups of honey yuja tea10蜂蜜柚子茶 (fēng mì yòu zi chá): Yuja-cha (유자차; 柚子茶) or yuja tea is a traditional Korean tea made by mixing hot water with yuja-cheong (yuja marmalade). Yuja tea is popular throughout Korea, especially in the winter. This tea is created by curing yuja into a sweet, thick, pulpy syrup It does not contain caffeine. It is often sold in markets in large jars and used as a home remedy for the common cold. , Shen Yuhan took a sip, it was a little sweet and delicious.
The inventions of modern people are really too many, even if he tries one flavor of drink every day, he can’t try it all.
When the two of them entered the theater, there were still five minutes before the opening time, the time was just right.
With his husband accompanying him, Shen Yuhan found his seat effortlessly11不費吹灰之力 (bù fèi chuī huī zhī lì): easier than blowing off dust—without the slightest effort; as easy as pie/ABC; very easy; effortless; with ease; as easy as falling off a log., the two of them were next to each other, and there were lovers on both sides of them, they sat in the middle, the best viewing position.
At this time, a car advertisement was playing on the screen, Shen Yuhan looked at the screen, which was much larger than the TV at home, and was quite shocked, the cars and people on the screen had become much larger, and the look and feel was very different.
So big!
Shan Qihuan stuffed a popcorn into his mouth: “What are you opening your mouth for, it’s like you’ve never seen a car before.”
It turned out that he was not exposed in front of his husband, Shen Yuhan immediately started to change the situation12扭轉乾坤 (niǔ zhuǎn qián kūn): lit. to upend heaven and earth (idiom); fig. to change the course of events; to turn things around; to bring about radical change in a situation; to reverse a course of events; retrieve a hopeless situation; lead to a turn-round.: “It’s not quite the same from what we have at home.”
“This car is only 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, too cheap to drive out, even if you like it, I won’t buy it for you.” Shan Qihuan said, “Our family doesn’t drive such a cheap car.”
Shen Yuhan told him the truth: “I don’t know how to drive, so I won’t buy it.”
“Then do you want to learn?” Shan Qihuan asked him.
“I don’t want to for the time being, I just need Uncle Li to drive for me, Husband, are there many cars in our garage?” Shen Yuhan asked innocently.
“Not much, just a dozen or so, once you learn how to drive, you can drive yourself out of the house.” Shan Qihuan still preferred Shen Yuhan to learn how to drive, but he was afraid that he would be confused and not pay attention to safety, so he said, “Forget it, no need to learn.”
Shen Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief, if he really had to learn how to drive, he would have to figure out the vocabulary related to cars by himself, no, he would have to learn it when he got back.
Although the two of them were not speaking loudly, their conversation was still heard by the two couples next to them.
The couple on the left: These two people are too Versailles, come on, you don’t know how many cars you have at home?
The couple on the right: Damn, silently shed the tears of ordinary workers, why did I choose this seat!
The movie has begun.
The story is roughly about a couple who fell in love, and separated when they were young, a few years later, the two met in the same city, and rekindled their old relationship, many touching things happened in the process, online comments said that you should bring your own tissues when watching this movie.
Shan Qihuan was fully prepared, he had tissues in his pocket, waiting for Shen Yuhan to be moved.
The movie begins with the sweet campus love between the male and female protagonists, suddenly, the heroine’s family suffered a huge change, and she had to drop out of school and follow her family to another city, and the two broke up.
They said goodbye on a rainy day, in order to prevent the boy from thinking about her anymore, the heroine gave a reason and left.
The couple beside them starts to get emotional, it’s a shame that such a sweet couple doesn’t get together.
At this time, Shen Yuhan asked Shan Qihuan in a low voice: “Honey, they can obviously take shelter under the eaves, why do they have to stand on the street, won’t they get into an accident with all the cars coming and going? They really don’t obey the traffic rules.”
Shan Qihuan finally realized the side effects of watching the news now: “It makes sense, moreover, their shoes are not wet, the rain seems a bit fake.”
Shen Yuhan nodded vigorously: “Yes, it’s raining heavily, it’s really not wet.”
The male and female protagonists on the screen are crying their hearts out, while the audience outside the screen looked for bug in the screen.
The two couples wittingly or unwittingly overheard it, and the emotions that were half brewing disappeared instantly, why did the two of them make so much sense!
Another half hour passed, and the plot reached its climax, the male and female protagonists met and brought up the past, it is said on the Internet that this is also a tear-jerking point, set off by atmosphere and music, once the emotions are in place, it is also a good point to cry.
The couple beside them began to work hard to brew emotions again.
At this time, Shen Yuhan had another question to ask Shan Qihuan: “Honey, what is that thing they are eating?”
“Crayfish13小龍蝦 (xiǎo lóng xiā): Crayfish are eaten all over the world. Like other edible crustaceans, only a small portion of the body of a crayfish is edible. The culinary popularity of crayfish swept across mainland China in the late 1990s. Crayfish is generally served with Mala flavor (a combined flavor of Sichuan pepper and hot chili) or otherwise plainly steamed whole, to be eaten with a preferred sauce. In Beijing, the ma la flavored crayfish (麻辣小龍蝦) is shortened to “ma xiao” (麻小) and is often enjoyed with beer in a hot mid-summer evening. More information: Link. .” Shan Qihuan said.
“Is it better than lobster?” Shen Yuhan had eaten lobster and shrimp in the modern era, but not crayfish.
Shan Qihuan said: “If you want to eat it, let’s go eat it after the movie.” This movie is not good at all, Shen Yuhan is so calm and terrible!
Shen Yuhan actually didn’t quite understand this literary romance film, he actually doesn’t understand why the male and female protagonists suddenly burst into tears, it’s so strange.
The two couples beside them: “…” Damn it, we also noticed the crayfish and wanted to eat them!
Half an hour later, the male and female protagonists had a brief bed scene.
Shen Yuhan turned his face sideways and whispered to Shan Qihuan: “That girl doesn’t take off her makeup when she sleeps, won’t it be uncomfortable?”
Shan Qihuan: “…”
The movie lasted for one hour and thirty minutes, Shen Yuhan didn’t learn anything new, so he wasn’t very interested, due to his obsessive-compulsive disorder, Shan Qihuan just finished watching this crappy movie without crying at all, Shen Yuhan frowned the whole time, which shows how careless this director is in filming!
Toward the end of the movie, Shan Qihuan asked Shen Yuhan: “Was it good?”
“It looks good.” Shen Yuhan thought to himself that his aesthetic taste was different from that of modern people.
“Where does it look good?” Shan Qihuan paused slightly, you’ve complained about it three times and it still looks good?
Shen Yuhan thought for a moment: “The heroine is good-looking, and dances well.”
Shan Qihuan looked at the screen, for the first time, he found that his obsessive-compulsive disorder to watch a movie to the end could be directly cured, he didn’t want to know the ending of this movie.
He said very calmly: “Let’s go eat crayfish after the movie.”
Shen Yuhan wanted to eat crayfish, and was even less interested in the movie, after it finished playing and had a happy ending, he and Shan Qihuan immediately walked out.
The two couples sitting on either side of them looked at each other, then lowered their heads and started to complain about the movie and the same-sex couple on their social platforms!
I already brought tissues, why on earth did you let me meet them!
